Notes
Chicken: We always make this with store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it super easy, but you could substitute any leftover roasted or grilled chicken you have.
Beans: We generally use field peas with snaps but you can substitute crowder peas, black-eyed peas, pinto beans, black beans or any favorite bean.
Veggies: Feel free to throw in any extra veggies you have on hand. Zucchini, mushrooms and peppers all work great here.
Seasonings: Other great ways to change this up is with some seasonings. I love adding some chili powder and cumin, maybe a little paprika too. It’s also great topped with hot sauce!
Leftovers: Once cooled, leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium low heat until warmed through.
